Discussion: Reumofan Plus Alert

Posted	Discussion
June 4, 2012 lemons Men's 65 267 posts	Reumofan Plus Alert Mexican health officials have issued a recall for Reumofan Plus based on potentially harmful pharmaceutical ingredients. The U.S. FDA conducted a test on the ingredients of Reumofan Plus and found diclofenac sodium (a prescription NSAID, similar to but stronger than ibuprofen) and methocarbamol (a prescription muscle relaxant). Neither of these is intended for long term use and both can have harmful interactions with current medications. Both of these ingredients are available through doctors' prescriptions. Having taken Reumofan Plus for a short while and been amazed at its effects, I will continue to use it only on game days or during tournaments and not daily. If you have taken Reumofan Plus for a period of time, The FDA suggests that you confer with your doctor to implement a gradual withdrawal since some of the lots may have contained cortisteroids as well. I guess there's no miracle cure for arthritis of the knee after all. To your health, Mel

June 5, 2012 boston 278 posts	Time to stock up FDA will soon ban this product since the U.S. pharmaceutical companies are loosing money on thier drugs. I will take my chances with reumofan than vicadin, celebrex and other addictive drugs that are outrageously priced. I have used this product fo about 3-4 mths. Feel great and now use maybe 4 times a week. Everything we use in our society is dangerous. My take is what the hell I have little time left might as well keep doing what I love. Thx for the info anyway lemons
